Well since I see someone else here is chatting about their red box it
might be nice to ask questions too.
My Crimson was given to me by a person who originally got several
desksides at a Boeing sale. When I got the system it had a ruined RM4
(raster manager) board and was missing it's GE8 (Geometry Engine) board.
Turns out that the GE8 was accidentally sold and the RM4...well....I
guess that is what you get when you grab a random RM4 off a pile of
boards and install it before inspecting it.
The system is otherwise fine (aside from the lower side skirts missing,
no drive sleds, a dead fan tray and not much ram) however it would be
nice to find another GE8 board and see the Reality Engine, the best
graphics option for the system, come back to life with another RM4.
Who here has some spare trays and/or a GE8 board they are not using? It
might also be nice to get more ram also.
